"BAGHDAD — Hundreds of Iraqi soldiers were trapped or missing on Sunday following a chaotic retreat from an army base in western Iraq, military officials said, underscoring the ability of Islamic State insurgents to remain on the offensive despite expanded airstrikes from the United States."

"At least 820 soldiers were stationed at Saqlawia Camp, north of the insurgent-controlled Iraqi city of Fallujah, when it came under attack from five suicide bombings on Sunday afternoon, said Lt. Col. Ihab Hashem, a deputy commander with the Iraqi Army’s 8th division who was at the camp. Two bombers drove explosives-packed armored vehicles and three others detonated vests, he said".

Suicide bombings but NOT chlorine gas? This all remains to be seen. NONETHELESS, another instance of the Iraqi National Army inability to hold a position, this disaster and instance of what appears to be a total break down of unit integrity, chaotic rout!!

Or this another instance of: "those with the loudest voices tend to be furthest from the scene of the action!!"
